Laura Mulvey developed the Male Gaze theory in 1975, which proposes that women are often sexualized in media through the perspective of the heterosexual male gaze. The theory consists of three components: how men look at women, how women look at themselves, and how other women look at women. Mulvey argues that the camera often represents the male audience and objectifies women through lingering shots of their bodies in revealing clothing or dancing provocatively. While Mulvey's theory was criticized for not also applying to the objectification of men, it brought attention to the over-sexualization of women in media such as music videos like Nikki Minaj's "Anaconda".
